Remembrance Day at Dunnington Church

Pupils from Lord Gowthorpe’s Independent School visited Dunnington Church this week to lay the poppy wreaths they had made in school. The visit gave them a chance to share their artwork and reflect on why Remembrance Day matters.

Making 3D poppies in art

As part of their current art topic, pupils put what they had learnt about creating 3D artwork into practice. They made three-dimensional poppies and attached them to wreaths. As they worked, they talked about what Remembrance Day means to them and why taking time to remember is important.

Laying our wreaths at Dunnington Church

At the churchyard memorial, pupils laid their handmade wreaths alongside other tributes. They also had a chance to look inside Dunnington Church, where the colours and detail of the stained-glass windows made a real impression.
